The magnitude of a star is a number that is a measure of its brightness as seen on Earth. The brighter the star, the lower its
magnitude. The data below show the magnitudes of five stars in
our galaxy. Between what two integers is the magnitude of each
star located? In most applications, the magnitude of a number is
its size or amount. However, when talking about the magnitude
of a star, magnitude includes negative numbers.
Polaris (The North Star): 1.97
Sirius (The Dog Star): -1.45
Hadar (Beta Centauri): 0.61
Arcturus: -0.04
Canopus: -0.72
